Nowe Czarnowo (German: Neu Zarnow) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Gryfino, within Gryfino County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland, close to the German border.[1] It lies approximately 8km (05miles) south of Gryfino and 270NaN0 south of the regional capital Szczecin.

The village has a population of approximately 660 residents. The Dolna Odra Power Station is located in the vicinity. Also nearby is a forest of oddly twisted trees, known as the Crooked Forest (Polish: Krzywy Las), a phenomenon which remains unsolved to this day.[2]
